Do you think the 1861 image says she is married?

Gee

Gee Report 5 Feb 2011 10:42

Deleted as I thought I was mistaken, but looking at other entries the "un" for unmarried do look different.

Just a comment (also deleted!).
I couldn't find her for a while either. For some reason she turned up when I left all details as non-exact, even name as default.

Still not convinced she was married though.as 1851 has her as single under same name.

Gee Report 5 Feb 2011 11:10

Ive just checked her christening and she was born Stoakley so she couldnt have been married
